A tool for easily renaming files
F-Rename is a premium application that can be tried for free on a 14-day trial. This application aims to allow the user to easily rename file names by implementing renaming patterns. It essentially automates the process of renaming large collections of files that were labeled using a particular system.
This software offers similar functionality to a handful of related apps, like Rename Master and Bulk Rename Utility. Being a paid-for app, users can generally expect a cleaner user interface and better support from the developer. The app also supports several languages.
Simple bulk renaming
Devices that create files, such as digital cameras, mobile phones, and other media devices, often name files using a predefined pattern that is not easy for most users to understand, such as DSC813913091. JPG or DL_MUSICFILE. MP3. F-Rename allows users to rename these files in bulk by creating renaming patterns of their own, making the file names more readily understandable.
User-defined patterns
The app requires its users to define the patterns that they want to rename the files. This process can take a little bit of time for inexperienced users to get used to but is not too complicated. This system lacks an automated renaming ability, but it means the app is suitable for use with a wide range of naming patterns.
Clean interface and straightforward controls
F-Rename features a very clean user interface that should make it easy for most users to navigate. The controls are mostly self-explanatory, with a help section available for those who need it. The app works with all file types, as it is only concerned with the names of the files.
